Boudoir Photoshoot Essentials

What is the first the thing that comes to mind when you think of a Boudoir Photoshoot? Sexy, feminine, red…. these were my first thoughts and we can’t forget the… “I’m not a size zero” and a little of “I have mom scars AKA stretch marks”! You might of thought what a crazy lady, still booking an appointment for my photoshoot, after all these thoughts!!

I made my appointment in February for a shoot in April and I can not tell you enough how scared I was, but thought what a cool wife I am to do this for my husband’s birthday gift. Besides it’s my husband, it isn’t like everyone is going to know. This isn’t my typical shoot like the one I do for mom with style… This was letting someone come into my personal space and lets be honest… mama ain’t no J.Lo now!

The day of my appointment…. I had a list of things I want to talk about before the shoot

I want Photoshop

Like a Barbie

I don’t want closes up

I have no idea “how to be sexy” Seriously guys….. I was laughing my butt while trying in the bathroom

I want Photoshop, like a Spanish Barbie

Need WINE (don’t judge)

I was wrong!!

The experience I had with Lindsay (who by the way is an amazing photographer) was unreal. She’s real, funny, there’s music playing, she’s feeding me a yummy drink, my hair and makeup is getting done… it is kinda like a slumber party! I remember changing into my first outfit thinking “oh my gosh… I’m really doing this…”!

During the first couple of pictures you stand there feeling extremely awkward, because your in most weird position EVER and your holding still worry that you may have a resting bitch face :/ After a while it starts being kinda fun and you actually remember your doing this and little by little you get it together and guess what???? You totally get into it!

My boudoir photoshoot was originally a birthday present for my husband, but it became something totally different to me! I sometimes come across my photo and just smiled from ear to ear, because I still can’t believe it’s me!

Who’s the sexy chica?

If you ever consider doing a boudoir (which I totally think should be on the bucket list), these are some tips you may want to consider,

The Right Photographer

Lindsay is amazing!!! NOT KIDDING! She makes you feel as if your already friends, you can easily trust her. What I love about her is the fact that she gets your body. She knows how to position your body in the right angle.

Not everyone has this gift, her work is awesome! Plus, every photographer has their unique style, find the one that fits your personality!

Outfit

This may seem like a no brainer… But think out of the box and use items you may already own… suggestions; bathing suits, crop tops. Always bring backup options

Ask Your Photographer

Be open with your photographer! Tell them any ideas, themes, and specially about what you are planning to wear.

Pinterest

Huge help! Can help you plan out your theme and even outfit suggestions, which can help you while you do your shopping.

Stretch

Stretching you may ask? Yes! Your going to be in the most weirdest position of life…. and your most likely going to be sore the next day. Stretch…. stretch… stretch….

Wowza, girl!!
Those pictures rock!
I have to admit, I’ve never done it, and hadn’t considered it before, but you’re really opened my eyes. It sure makes your self esteem feel good, I bet?
